Murder In The Old Castle
295. Actual Offender
After gulping down the water, Reno resumed his analysis. Everyone present at the place was still waiting worriedly. Reno reopen the archive neatly stored in the map. Sometimes he whispered to Dimas and Ammar, then nodded, adding to the curious residents who began to be impatient.
"Yes, Ollan was lucky at the time, but maybe not on another day. And last night, he also had a second attempted murder. I am thankful that he was lucky too. We didn't want to rely on his luck, so we returned him this morning. From the location of Henry's villa, we again find a fourth riddle containing clues about who the next victim is. We managed to identify that the next victim was Renita Martin. Especially for Renita, we sent one of our colleagues, namely Niken to secure Renita. Unfortunately, Niken failed, the perpetrator of the murder managed to kill Renita in a very sadistic way. He was found dead in a state of being stabbed several punctures in his body, and several parts of his finger were cut sadistically."
Reno stopped her sentence for a moment, because suddenly her stomach felt uncomfortable. He still remembered the piece of finger full of blood that he found on the table. The residents are increasingly curious about the continuation of the story Reno is so interesting, as well as terrible.
"Renita was killed, even the perpetrator managed to hold Niken and Rani, his sister Renita for a few days in a place we did not expect before, the house of Daniel which is located opposite Renita's house. Thankfully, the two captives were found by Dimas safe. Even Niken has reported to us the description of the perpetrator. We're trying to trace Renita's connection to two previous murder cases. It seems there is no direct connection, but after we traced it turns out the perpetrator of this murder has a personal vendetta with Renita that we will explain later. Based on these well-organized patterns of murder, we have the impression that this perpetrator has been planning this series of murders for a long time. His heart was filled with hatred, so he tried to get rid of people who were considered guilty in his life" Reno explained
"Is the perpetrator among us now?" henry looked around suspiciously.
"of course! The culprit is currently sitting with you. Maybe his heart is currently pounding, preparing excuses and refutations" Reno said.
"good. Let me continue with the analysis" Dimas continued.
The young policeman stood up, looking into the eyes of every resident there. The gaze seemed threatening, that whoever did it, would not be able to escape the snare of the law. Meanwhile, Reno gets a sitting turn, giving Dimas a chance to continue the analysis.
"After Renita's murder, we also find a riddle. They're after a couple that's popular among you. We do not understand the couple in question, because the perpetrator only identified with Romeo and Juliet. Reno initially thought that the couple were Henry and Rianti, but after we examined them, not those in question, but the couple Faishal and Melani who were vacationing in Henry's villa. Again, the villa was again targeted after previously Ollan was also almost killed there. Well, unfortunately we arrived a little late and we finally found Faishal poisoned in the cardboard, and Melani killed horribly in the bathtub. We have traced the origin of the poison, and we have obtained the buyer's data, complete with the transaction time. Even the killer was desperate to deliver poisonous food to Faishal by using the poison potassium cyanide. Fortunately, Faishal was immediately treated quickly by the medical side," said Dimas.
He paused for a moment to catch his breath.
"We have decided to isolate you, so that the casualties do not increase. Even after being isolated, I still heard there was an attempted murder against Ollan, and an attempted murder against Widya .... "
"I'm sorry, didn't Widya kill herself?" thunder quickly.
Dimas reopened the blue map and took out a photo from inside. The photo is a picture of Daniel lying naked wrapped in a blanket in a room, covering his face as if he did not want to be taken. Dimas showed the photo to everyone present at the place. Suddenly, they were all shocked. It was simply unexpected that there was such a photo that Dimas had found.
"This photo I found at Daniel Prawira's residence. Obviously, this is not a picture of Daniel with his late wife. The date in this photo shows that this photo was taken after his wife died. I'm sure some of you are no strangers to the rooms in this photo. Anybody know whose room this is?" ask Dimas.
"I-that's right ... the room in my villa? How could Daniel sleep there without my knowledge?" said Henry who began to get inflamed.
"could certainly. I hope no one interrupts first, because I will continue my exposure. This photo is actually the key to the case. This photo seems to tell me that Daniel had an affair with someone for a long time. Even because the relationship was so far away, Daniel's couple demanded excessively from the director, including treasure. Therefore, he was very jealous of the presence of Anita Wijaya who clearly inherited Henry's insurance policy. That is why, Anita Wijaya was also eliminated by this killer. Well, the dark relationship between the perpetrator and Henry was already known for a long time by his best friend. However, there are indications that this friend is not happy with the actions of the perpetrator and this friend also feels sick.There is an inner struggle of the friend, and unfortunately this is immediately smelled by the perpetrator. He was afraid that his best friend would betray him, so the shortcut to do was to finish off his best friend" said Dimas.
"Who is his best friend? Is he one of us?" henry asked more enthusiastically, because this case has begun to concern his villa.
"Yes, the perpetrator's friend has been killed. I explained it at the beginning, didn't I? We are more confident, after finding a photo between the perpetrator and his friend who took a picture together in the past. They seem to have known him for a long time. A fact that we found, the perpetrator is apparently a former patient of a mental hospital, even though it has been declared cured. But I don't think he's really healed yet. He is still obsessed with killing those who have wronged him. Including Ollan, Faishal, and Widya. Apparently these people are on the list of those who are guilty of the perpetrator's life. And I'm sure some of you will be on this list soon too" Dimas said.
"So who is that guy?" asked Laura impatiently.
"I'll say his name now. Henry!" dimas said as he stared intently at the 40-year-old actor.
Of course Henry was stunned. He did not expect his name to be mentioned by the young policeman. His streak paled, as all eyes stared at him, as if blaming.
"Sorry Henry. Not you, but your wife!" continued Dimas with a smile.
